Heck, this is all part of the mystery of the hunt. Developing your own trappins'. Rudderjt will back me up on this, the real mountain men didn't cotton to anyone foolin with or funnin their trappins'. Each thing was there because it served well or it was traded away for something better. Same on these game knives. Ten guys ten different 'trappins'. When 'afield' I carry my lucky swiss army knife, with saw,tweezers,screwdriver on my belt just in case some young blond lass with beer steins is tangled up in some hay twine or some such. In my possibles bag (Pack) are a 112, two 118s and a 103. (A new Vanguard will be in it this fall, replacing the 103). My buddy guts his elk with a 303 and does the rest with a cermaic bladed something or other. I usually have to pull a few strokes on a sharpening rod in the middle of things ,not him. All this is just to get it in manageable portions. It takes a long blade to cut steaks when back home. Different critter different knife, thats why we have to have more than just two or three, you can't skin a squirrel (313) with a 119. Well, you could but I would rather be punished in some other way. We drive different cars and we cut with different style blades. Most all mine say Buck someplace on it. If yours do too, then I will quickly know you aren't a man to have your 'trappins' fooled with.........300Bucks
Bucks for doing the deer thing. But thats just me.
